LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


PRE-CALCULUS
Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Specialized Subject
WEEK 1

I. Introduction
Welcome your first mathematics specialization subject in STEM,
Pre-Calculus. The first the topic in this subject is the conic sections (or
conics). Conic Sections are the curves that are formed when a
plane cuts a cone. When a cone is cut horizontally by a plane the
cross section is a circle. Circle is an example of a conic section.
Other result of cutting a cone can produce ellipses, parabolas and
hyperbolas. We can also consider line and a point as special cases
of conic sections.
As we explore conics, you will realise the applications in real life
that goes with the study sections. From parabolas that used in
satellite dishes, hyperbolas that is used designing telescope, ellipses
that model the orbits of the planets and circles, where you most
familiar with, that we use to design wheels in in engineering design
such as tunnels and arcs.
In this Learning Activity Sheet (LAS), we will focus on circle and
its degenerate form.

IV. Discussion

Conic Sections
A conic section (or simply conic) is a curve obtained as the
intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. There are four
types of conic sections, the hyperbola, the parabola, the ellipse,
and the circle.

Conic sections can be generated by intersecting a plane with a


cone. A cone has two identically shaped parts called nappes. One
nappe is what most people mean by “cone,” and has the shape of
a party hat.

2
Figure 1. A cone and conic sections: The nappes and the four conic sections. Each
conic is determined by the angle the plane makes with the axis of the cone. (lifted from
courses.lumenlerning.com)

Looking closely at the figure above, the intersections between the


plane and the cone produces conics, here are the observations:
 When the plane cuts the cone horizontally, parallel to the x axis,
the resulting conic is a circle;
 when the plane cuts the one cone at an angle other from the x
axis, thus forming a bounded curve the result is an ellipse.
 when the plane cuts the one cone and form an unbounded
curve the result is a parabola,
 while when the planes cuts both cones and form an
unbounded curves on both curves the result is called
hyperbola.

Below is the graph of four different conics on rectangular
coordinates.

Circle (x2+y2=9) Ellipse (2x2+y2=9)

Parabola (x2+y=3) Hyperbola (x2-y2=3)


Figure 2. Graph of Conic Sections

In some instances the intersection between the plane and the cones
doesn’t produce either of the above conic sections; this instance
produces what is called degenerate conics. A degenerate conic is
formed when a plane intersects the vertex of the cone. There are
three types of degenerate conics:
- The degenerate form of a circle or an ellipse is a singular point.
At the vertex of the cone, the radius is 0.
4
- The degenerate form of a parabola is a line or two parallel
lines.
- The degenerate form of a hyperbola is two intersecting lines.

The Definition and Equation of a Circle


A circle is formed when the plane cuts the cone exactly parallel to
its base. It can be said that the circle is a special kind of ellipse
(ellipse will be discussed in the next LAS).
The intersection with the cone is a set of points equidistant from a
common point (the central axis of the cone) and becomes the
center of the circle. Circles have certain features:
 A center point
 A radius, which the distance from any point on the circle to the
center point
5
On a coordinate plane, the general form of the equation of the
circle is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2 , where (h,k) are the coordinates of the
center of the circle, and r is the radius. A point is a degenerate form
of the circle that is formed when the single point intersection
happens. That is, when the plane only intersects the very tip of the
cone. The value of the radius is therefore zero. Further, the
eccentricity 𝒆 (is the ratio of the distance from the center to the foci
and the distance from the center to the vertices) of a circle is also
equal to zero. The essence of eccentricity will be fully discussed on
the LAS for ellipses.

Figure 4 (a) circle with a center at coordinate C at (3,1). (b) circle with a center at
coordinate C at (x,y)

Study figure 4a. Two points from a circle given are A (-2,1) and
B(6,5). By looking at graph the distance the distance of A from C is 5
units, while the distance of B from C can be calculated using
distance formula, 𝐵𝐶 = √(6 − 3)2 + (5 − 1)2 which is equal to 5, we
can then that distance PC is equal to 5. The collection of points that
is 5 units from C, forms a circle.

6
In figure 4b, it clearly shows that distance between point C and P is
called r, r stands for radius.

We can then say that, letting C be a given point. The set of all points
having the same distance from C is called a circle. Thus the point is
called a center of the circle and the common distance from any set
points in the circle from C is its radius.

Let us again consider figure 4b. The center of the circle is C (h, k)
while the radius is greater than zero r >0 (if the radius is equal to zero,
the figure becomes degenerate circle: a point). A point P(x,y) lies
on the circle if and only if PC = r ; hence we sat that .
𝑃𝐶 = 𝑟
by the distance formula √(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = 𝑟
(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = 𝑟 2 Equation 1

Equation 1 is what we call the Standard Form equation of a Circle


with the center (h, k) and having a radius of r. At the origin with
centre (0, 0) the standard equation is reduced to 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑟 2 .
Let us study the following examples:
1. Center at the origin, and the radius is 3
2. Center (2,-3), radius of 4
3. The circle in Figure 4a
4. Circle A in Fig 5
5. Circle B in Fig 5

6. Center (0,0) and the circle touches (0,3)
7. Center (0, -4) tangent to x axis
8. Center (5, -6) tangent to y axis
9. Center (-5, -5) tangent to both x and y axis
10. It has diameter with endpoints A(-1, 4) and B(4, 2)

Figure 5: example circles

Solutions.
(1) x2 + y2 = 9
(2) (x-2)2 + (y+3)2 = 16
(3) The centre is (3,1) and the radius is 5 so the equation is
(x-3)2 + (y-1)2 = 25
(4) The centre is (1,1) and the radius is 2 so the equation is
(x-1)2 + (y-1)2 = 4
(5) The centre is (-1,-1) and the radius is 3 so the equation is
(x+1)2 + (y+1)2 = 9

8
(6) The centre is (0,0), the distance between (0,0) and (0,3) using
distance formula √(0 − 0)2 + (3 − 0)2 = 𝑟 , r= 3, so the
equation is x2 + y2 = 9
(7) The centre is (0,-4), tangent to x means it touches and (0,0)
using distance formula √(0 − 0)2 + (0 + 4)2 = 𝑟 , r= 4, so the
equation is x2 +(y+4)2 = 16
(8) The centre is (-5,6), tangent to y-axis means it touches (-5,0).
Using distance formula √(−5 + 5)2 + (0 − 6)2 = 𝑟 , r= 6, so the
equation is (x+5)2 +(y-6)2 = 36
(9) The centre is (-5,-5), tangent to x-axis and y-axis this means it
touches (-5,0) and (0-5). Using distance formula
√(−5 + 5)2 + (0 + 5)2 = 𝑟 , r= 5, so the equation is (x+5)2

Standard and General form of the Equation of the Circle


Study example 2 from the previous exercise, we have obtain the
equation (x-2)2 + (y+3)2 = 16 this equation as we know it is in standard
form, if we expand of simplify the equation we write this as
𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 4 − 𝑦 2 + 6𝑦 + 9 = 16 further
𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 𝑦 2 + 6𝑥 − 3 = 0 re-arrangement give us
𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 − 4𝑥 + 6𝑥 − 3 = 0 final equation
9
The final equation above is what we call equation of the circle in
General Form. If the equation of the circle is in general form then it is
written in this manner
𝐴𝑥 2 + 𝐴𝑦 2 + 𝐶𝑥 + 𝐷𝑦 + 𝐸 = 0 , hence 𝐴 ≠ 0
Note that circle has coefficient of 𝑥 2 and 𝑦 2 are equal, hence the
general form can be simply written as
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 𝐶𝑥 + 𝐷𝑦 + 𝐸 = 0
Equations are normally written in general form. However equation of
a circle in general form doesn’t say much about its properties; its
center and its radius are not defined. Hence converting general
form to standard form is a key skill to unlock the properties of a circle.
In the conversion process from general form to standard form, the
skills in completing the square that you have learned in your lower
mathematics will come very useful.
Completing the square in an expression like 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 means
determining the term to be added that will produce a perfect
polynomial square. We can see that the coefficient of 𝑥 2 is 1, so we
only have to take the half of coefficient of 𝑥 which is 4, divide it by
two that gives 2 and take the square of it which 4. Then we obtain
the expression𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4 = (𝑥 + 2)2 , a perfect square.
How about this example?
3𝑥 2 + 12𝑥
3(𝑥 2 + 4𝑥) factoring out 3
3(𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4) taking half of 4 and squaring it.
3(𝑥 + 2)2 obtaining a perfect square

10
When completing square in an equation, we have to bear in mind
that any extra term introduced on one side must be also added to
the other side.

Let us now do some exercises. Find the center and the radius of the
following equation of a circle. Sketch the graph and indicate the
center.

Problems Involving Circles

Let us now explore at some real life situation where we can use our
knowledge involving circle.

Problem 1. A street with two lanes, each 10 ft wide goes through a


semi-circular tunnel with radius 12 ft. How high is the a the edge of
each lane? Round off to 2 decimal places.

13
Figure 6
Solution. We draw a coordinate system with origin at the middle of
the highway, as shown in Figure 6. Because of the given radius, the
tunnel’s boundary is on the circle x2 + y2 = 122. Point P is the point on
the arc just above the edge of a lane, so its x-coordinate is 10. We
need its y-coordinate. We then solve 102 + y2 = 122 for y > 0, giving us
y = 2√11 or 6.63 ft.

Problem 2. Tikboy dropped a stone into a pond creating a circular


ripple. The radius of the ripple is increased by 4cm/s. Help him define
an equation that models the circular ripple 10 seconds after the
stone is dropped.

The ferris wheel, must be considered to be 1 unit above the x axis
(ground level), center on the y axis, and highest point at y = 31.
The diameter is thus 30, and the radius 15. We locate the center at
(0, 16), and write the equation of the circle as x2 + (y − 16)2 = 152.
If y = 25, we have x2 + (25−16)2 = 152, so x2 = 152 − 92 = 144, and x =
±12. (Clearly, there are two points on the ferris wheel at an altitude
of 25 m.) Thus, the car is 12 m away horizontally from the center.
